Can I make these cups ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble completely up to 24 hours before serving and refrigerate covered. Add the final fresh peach topping immediately before serving for the most freshly vibrant and the most beautifully bright individual garnish. The cream cheese layer actually melds the most beautifully with the graham cracker crust during overnight refrigerator storage.

Can I use canned peaches?

Fresh peaches are the most specifically recommended for the most vibrant flavor and the most properly firm texture. Canned peaches release excess liquid that can make the cream layer runny and the crust layer soggy. If canned must be used, drain and blot most thoroughly and use as a topping only rather than layered within the cream cheese filling.

How do I keep the peaches from turning brown?

The lemon juice tossed with the diced peaches most effectively prevents browning by limiting the most natural oxidation that occurs when fresh peach flesh is exposed to air. Add the peaches to the dessert cups as immediately close to serving time as possible for the most vibrant and the most beautifully fresh color in the finished individual presentation.
